Chapter 712

Mother’s travel preparations

Just as Zhang Xiaobao guessed, two days later, when the team passed another village, the villagers came to give things, and one of them was a gift for the emperor.

Two hens that were still laying eggs were held in their hands and cooed.

]

Compared with the gifts given to Zhang Xiaobao’s family, it is much less. It should be because the people think that the emperor can’t eat too much by himself. The emperor eats better than what he gave him, no better than Xiaobaojuan, frugal, and save the money. Take it out for the people.

In this regard, Li Longji is still satisfied, at least a little less, but it can be regarded as progress, which is better than nothing.

He happily returned a piece of silk to the family, which was worth enough to buy a hundred hens, and ordered two more chickens to be picked up, called Zhang Xiaobao, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: “Xiaobao, take it, I want to eat chickens at night. Stew mushrooms and put more potatoes.”

“This is a hen, not a chicken, it’s okay for my mother to eat, to make up for her body.” Zhang Xiaobao corrected.

“It’s a little hen. Could it be that you haven’t seen a bigger hen?” Li Longji glared at him.

“I’ve seen it, okay, I made it. Don’t blame me if you get angry. Potatoes are not good potatoes. They have sprouted. I planned to plant them for people who need them. The other places are used for eating.”

Zhang Xiaobao took the two chickens who didn’t know what fate they were going to face, left a message, turned around to clean up, and sighed in his heart, eating chicken stewed with mushrooms on a hot day, this is Northeastern cuisine, isn’t it? it is good?

It is eaten to nourish the body in winter, and then I will put ginseng root for you, and it will make your nose bleed.

Li Longji has learned a lot, and greeted Zhang Xiaobao’s leaving figure: “Don’t put other things in it, I believe in your craftsmanship, and the taste of potatoes must be good.”

‘Toss me, you toss me hard .

‘Zhang Xiaobao continued to slander in his heart.

The sprouted potatoes are not easy to cook, they don’t have enough noodles, and the mother needs to stew for a long time. You can’t put the potatoes together, otherwise the potatoes will be stewed. Zhang Xiaobao can only increase the process. When cooked, add the potatoes.

Chicken fat is big, so you should remove the oily parts when you clean it up. When you eat it in the northeast, you should eat oily fish. Just like Russians like to eat butter, it is used to fight cold.

During dinner in the evening, Li Longji invited Empress Wang, Concubine Wu Hui, and eleven children to let others taste the fruits of his victory.

When Xiaobei saw the stew,

he looked at the cool clothes he was wearing, his eyes were straight, and he turned to look for his brother, what do you want to do?

Eat your sister to death?

Brother and sister Paner smelled the strong fragrance, so strong that they smelled disgusting first, and they tried their best to hide back, their eyes full of fear.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaobao was well prepared. Except for a large pot of stew, the rest were all cold dishes, as well as wild vegetables dug up locally. They were blanched in water, dipped in bean paste and eaten to balance them out.

When Li Longji saw the dish, it was difficult to swallow. After hesitating for a moment, he still took a piece of meat and said, “Eat, good food, eat it all.”

After one bite, he didn’t want to eat the second bite. Eating meat and fishy food is a test for people.

After taking another bite of potatoes, Li Longji saw that the meat in other people’s dishes had not moved, so he groaned and said, “Normally the people here can’t eat pine mushrooms, right? It’s better to share them with the people and send

them over.”

I didn’t eat much, and not everyone stretched out their chopsticks to pick it up, and there was no saliva. It was reasonable for an emperor to take it as a gift.

“Take it away, send it to the back, and I will fry two more dishes?” Zhang Xiaobao knew that everyone couldn’t eat it, and he usually didn’t lack meat and fish.

“No, the cold dishes are the same, the main food you prepare is…” Li Longji was embarrassed to continue tossing Zhang Xiaobao, looking at the cold dishes on a table and asking about the main food.

“Cover the noodles, or eat the rice too?” Zhang Xiaobao asked, and without waiting for an answer, he immediately ordered someone to prepare it.

Soon, the rice that had passed the water was brought up, and the little guys started to really move their chopsticks.

When everyone was eating, the guards and others also took turns eating and resting.

When the stew was delivered to the people, it wasn’t completely cool. It was not the people who gave it away, but the people who took the opportunity to repair the road.

The road that Li Longji walked was a simple road built by the engineering team in front. The quality was not good enough. After waiting for the large team to pass, it was bumped and uneven.

The people also helped in the back, and they recruited Shi Yanzi to press. Even if it was an easy road, they were unable to repair it by themselves. Now they press it, and it is compacted. Even if it rains, they are not afraid. It is nothing more than water accumulation somewhere. Fill in some more rock.

In the future, even if others don’t repair the road, they will often make up for it themselves, so that they can use it all the time. On the premise that there is no need to use the treasury and local people’s money, it is a good thing for the emperor to go on tour.

Just after dinner, Zhang Xiaobao, who was guarding the ice basin and planned to discuss things with Wang Juan, received news from Hangzhou.

His mother, Mrs. Zhang Wang, sent the news, which seemed to be quite ordinary, just to ask if the children were doing well on the road and how their father was.

It’s nothing. Zhang Xiaobao didn’t know what his mother wanted to express until he saw the back. The last sentence was that after arriving in Luzhou, help to say hello to the people of Luzhou, it is best to express the scenery Take it back after you draw it.

“Wife, let me tell you something.” Zhang Xiaobao put down the news and said to Wang Juan who was waiting.

Wang Juan didn’t listen to Zhang Xiaobao, grabbed the paper, browsed it quickly, and said, “Needless to say, my mother and your mother want to go to Luzhou, so we can go if we want. I can manage them.”

“I guess it’s because I’m afraid it will affect us. Except for parents who abuse their children, or even kill them, parents in the world are almost the same. I don’t mean to say whether to go or not, but how to go.”

Zhang Xiaobao tapped his face with his hands.

Wang Juan hadn’t seen Zhang Xiaobao’s action for a long time. Only when he tried to figure out people would Zhang Xiaobao have such a habitual “sex” action.

“What do you want to do? Our two mothers went to Luzhou, and you also plan to do it?” “It’s not to do it, it’s to do it to

others. You think, when our mother goes there, we can’t go overland like us. , you have to take a boat, the speed is fast, and it is more stable than the current road conditions, but…”

“Don’t come and go, if you have something to say, take a boat, and then how can you use it?” Wang Juan didn’t show off to Zhang Xiaobao at all. opportunity, ask directly.

Zhang Xiaobao said half a sentence, was blocked, coughed, and said, “It’s not for use, it’s for protection, my mother and the others are on the boat, even if it is stable, there may be unsmooth situations, and it is difficult for me not to send someone to protect me. An.”

Wang Juan kept her head down and continued to read the news on the paper, as if to study her mother-in-law’s language and organizational skills, at least better than her own mother’s. If it was her mother’s news, she must have said it directly and thought of it. Going to Luzhou seems not euphemistic enough.

Zhang Xiaobao waited for a while, and seeing Wang Juan did not cooperate with the question, he had to continue to say: “Speaking of protection, how can I just say how many people I send out is no different from ‘Green’ Novel Network’, right? ”

Wang Juan read it again.

Zhang Xiaobao also said to himself: “So I have an idea, you can guess.”

“Bad idea, don’t tell me, don’t tell me I’m going to bed, I’m sleepy.” Wang Juan yawned.

“My idea is to send a group of people from other places, you guess… Forget it, don’t guess, I’m going to send a gunboat team from Luzhou to meet the past.

Our mother goes to Luzhou once, It’s not good to be empty-handed, so we should prepare more gifts, such as rice noodles from other places, and other specialties. Therefore, a large amount of materials must be assembled to Jiangnan East Road at the fastest speed, and the logistics of our family must also be moved.

The speed must be fast, otherwise when we arrive in Luzhou, my mother and your mother haven’t left from Hangzhou, so why don’t you go, right?

Zhang Xiaobao saw that

Wang Juan didn’t have a tacit understanding, or knew himself too well, so he had to find a way to attract him with words, so that he could show his intelligence in front of his wife.

Wang Juan finally cooperated and asked, “Is there any more?” ?

Xiaobao nodded happily: ”

I think Luzhou lacks things from Gyeonggi, Lingnan, and northern Hebei. If the other two places are transported, it will take too long, and the northern Hebei will be directly connected.” Go to the sea and transport the things over there, okay?

Zhang Xiaobao looked concerned about Luzhou and asked for advice.

Wang Juan smiled slightly: “Okay, do you think there is something to send from the Northeast?

”

Ginseng?

mink?

Ural grass?

Antler?

Afraid that the people in Luzhou will get cold, and the wind will blow through the bones in summer, so give them supplements?

Why don’t you make a chicken stew with mushrooms, they must be very happy.

”

Uh~” Zhang Xiaobao said, “Happy is happy. After all, I made it myself. You said, don’t give it away for now. There are hazelnuts and pine nuts in the northeast. You can also send someone to pick them up on the ground, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises.

The local people are busy now, it is not easy to use them for work, let’s dispatch the army, the local army has been in training situation, transfer troops from Youzhou in the southern part of Hebei Province, do you think?

Henan Road convened a large transport vessel, UU read www.

sonicmtl.com will prepare some goods and ship them together when the time comes. Maybe they will be able to earn back the expenses they have spent, and tell the Japanese that the steam-engine armed ship we leased to them will not be borrowed for the time being, and help guard the transportation team at sea. , do you think it works?

”

Wang Juan finally heard what was wrong in Zhang Xiaobao’s words, and asked in surprise: “You really planned this?”

Do we need to transfer tens of thousands of Tubo troops to Henan Road, that is, Shandong, as a cross-regional joint training exercise?

”

“Don’t move there, I really plan to help my mother travel and give Luzhou something, don’t get me wrong.” Zhang Xiaobao said seriously.

“It’s strange to believe you, I didn’t misunderstand, but you want to make others misunderstand, and play two birds with one stone, right? No wonder you made a small move just now, so you still want to take advantage of our mother’s travel. My mother knows it and promises to hate you. , what son-in-law.”

Wang Juan gave Zhang Xiaobao a blank look.

“Where can I find a son-in-law like me? Don’t be in a hurry to eliminate me, help me improve it, hurry up, sleep in a while, and I’ll tell you the story of the wolf and the lamb.”

Zhang Xiaobao said without blushing at all.
